A man who was convicted of disrupting President Jacob Zuma's centenary lecture in Cape Town has been given a community service sentence, the Cape Argus reported on Thursday.

The Cape Town Magistrate's Court reportedly sentenced Sibusiso Nkomiyahlaba, 26, on Wednesday to 18 months in jail, which was wholly suspended for four years on condition he not commit a similar offence.

According to the report, he was also sentenced to 50 hours community service and ordered to complete a life skills programme and anger management course.

Nkomiyahlaba and others were responsible for disrupting the African National Congress (ANC) centenary memorial lecture at the Good Hope Centre on February 23 last year.

They sang while Zuma was speaking and several people were thrown out the centre.

SABC cameraman Rudi le Roux was hit with a chair while filming an anti-Zuma protest outside the building and had to have several stitches.

The provincial ANC leadership suspended Nkomiyahlaba's party membership for five years in May last year.

This sanction, however, was suspended on condition he not be found guilty of the same misconduct.

He and three others were instructed by the ANC to perform community service and attend compulsory political education school.

Being sentenced for the only person being awake during the lecture is not quite right… :D
 
WTH is Political Education School? Do you get Political Education School Training there? Is it called PEST?

A few things that spring to mind immediately:

1. What crime exactly was the heckler charged with?
2. A suspended sentence of 18 months seems beyond excessive to me, considering what he did. I would have filed it under "freedom of speech activities" !!!
3. If the heckler (who is an ANC member) did the same at a DA gathering if e.g. Zille was speaking, would the ANC still have disciplined him? Or is it only when one of their own gets insulted that it becomes a problem?

Sibusiso Nkomiyahlaba, 25, of Crossroads, and Siviwe Gxothiwe, 27, of Khayelitsha, were not asked to plead the charge of public violence.

...

The men were believed to be the ring leaders of a group, believed to be ANC Youth League members, who violently disrupted the president's speech on Thursday.

...

The ANC condemned the conduct of the “senseless thugs” at the time, saying an investigation would follow.

Seems they got physical, is the issue.
 
The only form of government where this is not considered disgusting is a Dictatorship. Screw Zoomer and all his ass licking followers. It is times like these that I wish that Hell did exist, because then at least I could feel better about them getting their comeuppance in the afterlife. Because they sure as hell are not going to get it in this life. Which makes me mad.

*Edit
It would appear that under my belief system the phrase, "sure as hell" is a little shaky at best. :erm:
